Chapter 218 Parting ways
Chapter 218: Parting Ways

"My lord, aren't you tired at all? You are really amazing!" Qian'er's eyes revealed admiration, and she stepped barefoot on the ground like a young swallow returning to its nest, and threw herself into Ye Xuan's arms.

If there was a third person present, he or she would probably just interpret this scene as a girl shyly throwing herself at her lover, wanting his caress.

However, Ye Xuan, who had already obtained a tenfold bonus to physical fitness, had gained more than just physical strength, but even his five senses had increased tenfold.

So even though the light in the room was dim, Ye Xuan still keenly noticed Qian'er taking out a sharp blade from her sleeve.

However, Ye Xuan did not move at all, as if he did not notice Qian'er's little movements at all. He still stood there with a smile on his face, like a man waiting for his lover.

Just when Qian'er was about to throw herself into Ye Xuan's arms, the distance between them was less than an inch, and the sharp blade in Qian'er's hand was about to pierce Ye Xuan's body.

Qian'er's face froze and she looked at Ye Xuan in disbelief, because her wrist was now tightly grasped by Ye Xuan and she could not move.

"you……"

The shining dagger in her hand has completely exposed Qian'er's intentions, and Qian'er also knows that there is no point in pretending any longer at this time.

So she pretended to explain, opened her mouth slightly and uttered a word.

Sure enough, Ye Xuan's strong eyes revealed a look of interest, as if he wanted to hear what he would say.

However, at the moment when Ye Xuan was distracted, Qian'er's other hand suddenly raised up and chopped heavily at Ye Xuan's throat.

But listening to the sound of the wind in the air, Ye Xuan knew without thinking that if he was hit by this hand knife, he would probably end up with a broken Adam's apple and die.

However, Qian'er's confident knife move froze in mid-air because her wrist was once again tightly grasped by Ye Xuan.

Qian'er exerted all her strength and tried to pull her hands free, but Ye Xuan's ten fingers were like iron clamps and did not move at all.

Qian'er was immediately shocked. Although she looked thin, she had been carefully taught by martial arts masters hired by Hu Weiyong since she was a child, and ordinary men were no match for her in her life.

However, Ye Xuan grabbed her with ease, how could Qian'er not be shocked!

"It turns out that my godfather and I underestimated you!" Qian'er blurted out in shock.

Ye Xuan also raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with a laugh, "I didn't expect that I caught a big fish today!"

"But Hu Weiyong doesn't seem to care about your daughter's life or death. He actually sent you to carry out an undercover mission. Aren't you afraid that you will be beheaded after being discovered?"

Qian'er's face instantly turned cold when she heard that. "Shut up, my foster father has been so kind to me, how can you slander him so recklessly!"

"A favor as heavy as a mountain?"

Ye Xuan raised a faint smile and said teasingly: "Let me guess, you should be an orphan picked up by Hu Weiyong, right? He raised you and hired a martial arts master to teach you the art of assassination, right or wrong?"

Qian'er looked at Ye Xuan in horror as if she had seen a ghost, and asked, "How...how did you know?"

Ye Xuan was speechless for a moment. He was just making random guesses based on the plots of the melodramatic novels he had read in his previous life. He never expected that he would hit the mark so accurately!
However, after learning about Qian'er's life experience, Ye Xuan felt some pity for her. He originally thought that Qian'er was just an ordinary traitor arranged by Hu Weiyong, but he didn't expect that she had such a life experience.

Feeling pity in his heart, Ye Xuan could not help but persuade him: "Hu Weiyong is already a rat without a tail, he won't be able to jump for much longer! If you are willing to turn back, I can protect you when the time comes for reckoning."

"Bah, my adoptive father has been so kind to me, don't even think about sowing discord between us!" Qian'er looked angry.

However, Ye Xuan just sneered and said, "If he really cared about you, why would he send you out to do such a dangerous thing? And if I am not mistaken, your bedroom skills have suddenly become so powerful in the past few days, it must be related to Hu Weiyong, right?"

"Let me guess, did you invite someone like Mingji from somewhere to teach you the art of sex so that you can completely confuse me?"

Qian'er blushed, thinking of the absurdity of the past few days, and her body softened spontaneously, but she still defended Hu Weiyong, saying, "I did this voluntarily, and I was not forced!"

Ye Xuan shook his head with pity and continued to persuade: "You keep calling him foster father, but what father in the world would let his daughter use her body to seduce others?"

Qian'er's body stiffened and her face turned slightly pale.

In fact, he knew very well in his heart that Hu Weiyong only treated her as a tool and never really regarded her as a daughter.

However, what Hu Weiyong had taught her since childhood, such as the sage's words that fatherly love is as high as a mountain and one should be grateful and repay kindness, came in handy at this time.

In addition, Qian'er herself is not a wicked person. Although she was trained by Hu Weiyong to be a death warrior, she still sticks to her principles in her heart.

Seeing Qian'er was unmoved, Ye Xuan sighed, knowing that she had been brainwashed by Hu Weiyong for too long, and it would be difficult to convince her with just a few words.

Qian'er's hands were tightly controlled. She knew that her identity was exposed today and that she would not have a good ending. She might even be thrown into the prison by Ye Xuan and suffer inhuman torture.

When he thought of the horrific rumors about Wei Yu, Jian'er moved his tongue, and a poison pill hidden between his teeth fell on his back molars. As long as he bit it lightly, the toxin in the poison pill would kill her in an instant.

However, just when the poison pill was about to be bitten, Qian'er felt her wrist loosen and she was free in an instant.

This sudden change made Qian'er stand there in a daze. She still held the dagger in her hand and looked at Ye Xuan with difficulty in looking confident.

Ye Xuan showed a helpless smile, rubbed Qian'er's hair, and said with pity in his eyes: "Since you are unwilling to turn back, then let's go."

"Although I know it's unlikely, I still hope you can go far away, just pretend you are dead, leave Hu Weiyong, and live your own life."

"You...you want to let me go?" Qian'er asked blankly.

Ye Xuan said helplessly: "Although these few days have been a bit crazy, you should not have been driven stupid by me, right?"

"Anyway, since I have taken your body, you are my woman. I cannot kill my own woman. Let's go, leave the capital and go to a place where no one can find you. Live your own life. From now on, you are free."

Qian'er's eyes revealed an extremely complicated look, and the short knife in her hand fell to the ground with a clang.
